Yays and Nays of May 25, 2017 · 1:26pm May 25th, 2017
YAY for those Notre Dame University students who walked out of the commencement address of Vice President Pence. Notre Dame University invited him to give the address, with many a student there walking away before the commencement speech began. I don't know about you, but in the words of AllMusic, I would think that watching Mr. Pence speak is akin to "witnessing a car wreck, leaving onlookers too horrified and too baffled to turn away."
NAY for Greg Gianforte. When asked about the healthcare system in this country, the GOP candidate of Montana's at-large congressional district special election, which is being held today, assaulted the guy who brought it to his attention, The Guardian's political reporter Ben Jacobs, with a body slam in which Mr. Jacobs' glasses were broken. Ouch. His Democratic opponent is Rob Quist; I'd like to thank Mr. Gianforte for allowing Mr. Quist to potentially win all because of the harm Mr. Gianforte caused Mr. Jacobs.
